Tranquility7 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 We just got a Kindle and I downloaded some free Kindle books and their WhisperSynch narrations. DD loves to have it read aloud to her while she watches the words. However, I can't get the narrations to work at all in their FreeTime accounts. DD can hear the narrations only if she reads the book under my account (which I do not like since she could inadvertently purchase something). How do I get WhisperSync to work under Kid FreeTime?

zimom Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I am new to the Fire, but my understanding is that what you want to do is not possible. Sorry. I believe at this time audiobooks do not work at all with Freetime. Hopefully someone will correct me and tell me I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 *sigh* I was afraid that might be the answer. The web browser is not available in the Kid FreeTime zone either! Incredibly disappointing... there are LOTS of things I want my kids to do in the browser, and lots of audiobooks I want them to be able to listen to... But seriously, how can I let a 4 yr old on there using my account where there are no parental controls??? Seriously short-sighted on Amazon's part. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 PS- Thanks for your reply. Sorry I forgot to say that! :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I just got a paperwhite, but I set mine up so that there is no way to instantly purchase from my Kindle at all. If I want to buy books, I do it from my computer. That could solve part of your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just avoid them inadvertently getting smut on the browser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinchick Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 DS actually purchased a dozen berenstain bears books with my kindle last week. Ugh! Luckily there is a feature under "manage my kindle" that lets you return content that was bought by accident. May allow you to let your dd use your account with an easier mind.

LOL, yes, that sounds like a feature that appeared after lots of parents complained, doesn't it?! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 So what audio books did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
